A Plea for the IIorses.

To the Editor Of The EVENING STAR:
During the past two or three weeks Of hot
weather have frequently noticed that the cart
horses and mules at work about the city still have
the heavy piece Of leather over the upper part Of
the collar This increases the animals suffering
from the heat by not allowing the free evaporation
about the shoulders that is so necessary for its
comfort. The effect is the same as IL thick cloth
cape was fastened over the shoulders OF a man
who had to labor in the hot sun. In several in
stances have stopped the driver and asked him
why he kept the cape on in hot weather, and
almost invariably the answer has been, 81 don't
know" The cape is intended to keep out snow and
rain during cold weather. and should be laid aside
from the LIST OF April until the LIST of November.
Ocners OF cart horses should at see that this
worse than useless covering Is taken OF for the
summer. A MEMBER OF THE HUMANE SOCIETY
